I've seen Jim Caviezel in a bunch of things. I know he has range. The actor that plays Finch is from Iowa so one of the local station's news did a special interest story on him. They showed some behind the scenes footage from the episode last season in the hotel. In one of those they were filming Reese walking down a hallway, they yelled "cut" and Caviezel broke into a huge smile and started laughing. It was incredibly jarring. He does Reese's cold, deadpan, demeanor so well that seeing him laugh and smile just really stood out. He does the role that well.

Favorite episode to date, right next to the one where Shaw was introduced. I know the character probably wouldn't work as the main focus but Sarah Shahi is such a great addition to the cast, I want Shaw to get her own show... maybe "Person of Interest: Miami" :-)

shush, everyone knows show runners read here
Don't make any changes to POI.

Fantastic episode and I love that Sarah Shahi is a regular.

She's a great addition to the cast.

I fell on the floor laughing when the girl Jen pokes her and said, "I thought you were a robot".

It is mighty convenient how all the numbers are in the Greater New York City area.

My only peeve with this awesome episide, and this is typical of hollyweird, is that Reese's "fight" with the HR cop was competitive.

Um, Reese is this total bad@$$ that nobody can touch and can take out all guards and all comers with ease, but this cop guy can suddenly hold his own with a special ops best in the world killer.........sure

other than that typical hollyweird stupidity, it was great episode and continues to be a great show

The way that scene with Reese and the HR guy was shot was a little confusing at the end. When the cop cars showed up, was Reese still there? Did the HR guy get arrested?

Reese disappeared in the split second it took the HR guy to look towards the sirens. Ninja!!

They didn't arrest HR guy (as far as we know). There's no proof that he'd done anything wrong. He's a cop on the scene; probably said he was driving by during his off hours and saw something suspicious. Carter hasn't given anyone her proof yet.

My thinking is that Reese was holding back in order to, a) assess Simmon's skills, and more importantly, b) keep him busy so he can't call in extra help (or go himself) to stop Shaw from getting the girl.

Reese disappeared when the patrol car showed up and I don't think there's any reason they would have arrested Simmons.

We still haven't seen where Fitch had his back injured. We only saw that he ran into Reese in the hospital.

We saw it in flashbacks near the end of last season.

Finch was disillusioned with the project and was going to blab to the press about it. The people who had bought the machine found out and set up a staged terrorist attack (van loaded with C4) at a ferry landing where Finch (and his partner on the project) was. The partner died in the blast, while Finch was injured. He snuck off and let his GF believe that he was dead (and his body unrecovered) because he saw goons looking for him at the makeshift triage center where he woke up.

He went back to the backdoor machine terminal that his partner was using and found out that the machine had predicted what would happen.

That was the event that led him to be on his current mission.

actually Finch's partner wanted to use the back door to the machine to get the "unimportant" numbers and help people

Finch was totally against that
I think he said that was too much power, it was playing God
Finch insisted on seeing the "bigger picture", using the the machine only to provide national security

Finch didn't want his partner using the back door to get any numbers

I believe Finch's partner thought the machine was too powerful for the government, so he was going to the press

so the explosion was meant to kill the partner

Finch was there because he was going to try and talk the partner out of meeting the press

after the explosion, Finch went back to the machine, used the backdoor and found out the "unimportant" number for that day was his partner's

Agreed, great episode. It appears they are giving Carter more air time and Fusco less as each week goes by.

BTW, I can't remember, from previous episode, who the woman in the mental hospital is. Too easy to forget last season stuff at my age.

She's "root," the dangerous hacker equivalent of Harold who is more ruthless and willing to kill. She answered the call when the machine "rebooted" and called for Mama, along with Reese, so she has the key access to "her."

I found that whole aspect of the season finale last season confusing at best. It got a little too complicated for it's own good.

But I love Amy Acker in that role so I am willing to overlook it.

Ahhh...thanks, that jolted my memory now. I agree with Maui though, the finale definitely was a little too complicated.
